Breath of Fire 6 gets new, spicy character details

"It’s been a slow trickle of new details regarding Capcom’s smartphone and PC RPG Breath of Fire 6, but Japanese website 4Gamer has uncovered even more story-related information that’s spicy enough to get even the most jaded Breath of Fire fan’s ears to perk up.

Two new characters have been revealed for the game, including Gilliam, a blue, anthropomorphic wolf-like warrior who protects the leafy Forest of the Dawn that sits adjacent to Dragnier, the player’s starting village, and Amyria, a friendly, yet stubborn female intellectual who is described as having a mild and laid-back personality. Gilliam also happens to be the name of a bow and arrow-wielding wolf-like character from the original Breath of Fire on SNES, who was renamed “Bo” in the North American version of the game.

What’s even more curious is Amyria. The name of the main villain in both Breath of Fire I and III was named “Myria,” a powerful goddess with questionable intentions. While one fan has surmised that the Japanese ‘アミリア’ can be translated as”Amelia” as well, the name in Japanese sounds exactly like “Myria” with just an ‘A’ in the front. Couple that with her red eyes, long purple hair and horns, and I would say that this may turn out to be an interesting reveal in the main game." - Patrick Kulikowski
